Usually, the diffusers work well if there is conflict happening in only one or two rooms, while a collar goes everywhere with the cat. I would just start with collar for Kovu and give him some time to see if it helps. Afterwards, if you notice specific problem areas, or the collar isn't working, switching to the plug-in diffusers long-term (say near a litterbox) may help as well. Both together may be a bit too much, while not increasing efficacy any.

The pet calming collar may be a good idea. I like the Sentry calming collar. I'd also get a Feliway diffuser. That releases calming pheromones when plugged in. Have them both seen by a vet for a wellness check.

I presume that you're talking about Sentry Calming Collar which is also a pheromone based product. I have not had clients use that because I have not seen any studies about it. Feliway has done a wonderful job of testing their products to make sure that they work, so I would recommend using Feliway since it is a proven product. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and answered your question. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

I haven't used Beaphar products before, but just looking at their ingredients, I would probably recommend using their treats for the actual drive because it has 3 different ingredients that may help with stress. If you think that needs to be combined with a longer lasting product, it looks like the collar has both Valerian and lavender, while the spot on only has Valerian. But if your cat is not used to wearing a collar, then she may not tolerate the collar well. I would contact the company to discuss the specifics of your move and ask them for a recommendation. As far as other products to consider to help stranger cats get along, I have a couple suggestions (although the Beaphar products may be very helpful). The goal is to decrease stress between the cats. One option for decreasing stress is to add a Feliway Diffuser ( https://www.feliway.com ) to your house. This is a calming pheromone that will work for a month. I have also had luck with Rescue Remedy ( http://www.bachflower

Hi there! You could try Feliway pheromone spray in her carrier before the trip, along with a natural calming supplement such as Zylkene or Composure. All of these can be ordered online or purchased at pet stores without a prescription.
